ANS: A Show Chronic disease has become a public health problem of great proportions with the most common and costly chronic diseases being heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, and arthritis. Chronic disease is the leading cause of preventable deaths, disability, and decreased quality of life. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Uncontrolled hypertension leads to heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and a host of other complications and only two-thirds of people with hypertension are aware that have high blood pressure because there are no associated symptoms. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Early screening and detection, promotion of healthy lifestyles, expanding access to services, and improving cancer treatments will help reduce the burden of cancer and disparities. Screening activities (secondary prevention) make a difference in death rates and early detection can promote a cure, whereas late detection typically ensures a poor prognosis. Overweight and obesity are topics addressed numerous times in Healthy People 2020 because of their link to many chronic health diseases (risk factor for diabetes and heart disease). A dietary assessment, along with physical and psychological assessments, helps nurses to identify women at-risk for appropriate referrals.
